Anticipation

When we anticipate something, that means we have a level of expectancy. Losers react, leaders anticipate. Sometimes we under estimate the challenge or the situation and come up short. Other times we just fail to execute the plan or strategy at the right time, which causes us to miss out on opportunities, that would have given us a different outcome. If you lack anticipation, you then forfeit expectation, which breeds frustration, that smothers imagination and the end result is stagnation. Anticipation is the emotional process of looking forward to something forthcoming.
